FRICTKON-W'HTEEL FOR NO. 923,204. Specification Application filled. June 5,

To all whom it may coneem:

ie' it known that .l, Hiiivnr citizen of the United. States, Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of lndiana, have ii'iventctl certain new and useful l1nproveinente in lirietion-tlfheels t'or Stacker"lurmTablea, of which the folhnring is a specification.

This invention re turntalides for pnctnn objcctis to provit while reducing t 'l. SEBURN, a

atie stacker-s and its le friction rollers which he friction and wear between the movable parts of the turntable also act as a retaining means to hold. the parts of the turntable together in operative relation. r

Referring to the accompanying drawing invention, Figure 1 i. a detail in side elevation of a portion of a threshing machine equipped with my invention. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on the line 2' of Fig. i. Fig. 3 is a cl Tail in vertieal st .tion on the line 3-45 .4 2, and Figv Fl .is a detail in side elevation of the ler and aseociated parts as are shown same rol in Fig. 3.

Like characters of reference indicate litre parts throughout the several views.

5 represents the body of a threshing inachino and 3 the platform on which the turntable is mounted.

7 is the. n'iaster wheel of the turntable having t-irculnferential teeth for ei'igagen'ie-nt by a worm or other means For rotating the wheel. The wheel 7 hasthe vertical flange o around a circular central opening, forthe attachment thereto of the stacker tube 9. it) are a plurality of friction rollers, here shown as four in number, which are 1nounted in tixcd positions on the platform 6 equidistant from ea h other around the wheel 7. These rollers 10 arehorizontal and project under the wheel T and form supports for said wheel which wheel bears upon said rollers in the manner shown 'lhe weight oi wheel 7 and SllllOF-llllPOStKl stacker tube J and attached mechanism thus si'ipporled upon the rollers T. The rollers l rare'inountt-d on spindles l2 jouriuiled in a bottom plate i i and an ul'ipcr plate l t. The 'ilates l3 andl l are integrally (:(nm ctod around the outer face oi? the triotziou roller-in the manner shown, and the lower pla e is l'astcucd to platform (3 by passed through thesllllll llt. bolts \Ylllt'il zil't: boll-holes 13.

l l l l l l l l i l l l l l l l l l i lifting of: the wheel 7 off of rollers 10 is pre-- vented by flange 15 which is east integral! with the vertical flange orextension 8 and extends in an annulartlirection under and adjacent. to the rollers 10. Any vertical displa cement: of the wheel 7 is thus prevented by the contact of the annular flange 15 with the under eicies of rollers 10. It will thus he seen that the rollers 10 not; only serve to les m the friction between the moving parts oi the turntable, but also serve as fastening means to retain the movable members of the turntable in proper position upon the platform 6.

Having thus fully closer what l desire to secure by Letter the United States, is- 1'. in a turntable a stacker tube, a toothe the lower end of said tube, an annular flange parallel with the wheel and loeatedlbelow and adjacent thereto, and a plurality ofhori- Zontal friction rollers retained in fixed position relative to said tube and wheel and extending between said wheel and 'flange to relieve the friction and also to retain the tube and wheel in normal operative position. 2. [n a turntable tor pneumatic stackers,

a toothed l'lltiHll3l' \\'l1ti,l having an integral vertical flange and a parallel horizontal llange below said wheel. a stacker tube at-v tached to the ertical liangtn'a machine platform and' a plurality oi horizontal friction wheels or rollers fastened in a fixed manner to said platform and extending between the toothed wheel and under-lying flange. 3. ln a turntable for pnemnatie stackers, a stacker tube, a toothed master wheel surrounding eaid tube and turning therewith. a iiange secured to the tube under the toothed wheel adjacent to and parallel therewith, a stacker platform and a plurality of h ori zontal i'rietion wheels secured in a fixed nranner to the said platform and extending between the toothed wheel and underlying flange to relieve the friction and also to l1 old the wheel and tube in operative position on eaid platform.
